just wondering here, do I have to download the bonus pack stuff before I download Kryo's hull mod or does it not matter? I know I should download the bonus pack before I d/l the patch, but since the mod has the bonus jewlery in it, I'm just wondering if it matters or not.

Updated for new mod folder functionality in 1.2+. Should be the final update, unless hull values get changed again ala 1.11.

Also new in this update:
+ A new "Blank" tab will appear on the hul selection palette along with Small, Medium, Cargo, etc. Clicking it will cause the ship designer to only show the blanks, and not the normal hulls.
+ Scaling issues noted on civfanatics.com are fixed. Ships made with the hull mod will now appear correctly sized based on their size class, instead of all being the same size on the map and in battle.

Unfortunately, the ability to create new tabs in the component palettes does not apply to jewelry at this time (nor likely in the future, but we can hope) due to the special style-based sorting functionality there. So the hulls-as-jewelry may still be difficult to rummage through for some.

Once again, disregard the old/corrupt library version and download via the link in the OP of this thread.

DK knowing that the game ignores the mods folder for MV games can you also release a standard edition for integrationinto the core files please

Manual integration works fine

1.2 beta uses a Mods folder in the GC2 install location by default, so that is what it is made for (at least, the batch file is). Once you've run the batch file to get all the hull models built, you can move it all wherever you like.

The mod folder functionality is set up so most xml data just needs placed in the appropriate location, and it will be used along with the core data and any other mod data. There are a few files that will only work via total replacement, but you can put the replacements in the mod folder and it will just use them instead of the core version.

More details on that will be available when Cari releases the modding guide shortly.

you can still use the hulls to create a totally different looking hull.

Would it be possible to include the weapon/engine/defense/modules as jewelry pieces as well. There's another mod in the libary which turns all non-jewelry components invisible (to help with custom hull models) and it'd be nice to be also able ot use standard models and decorate them with normal components as well.

the defenses mostly just look like plates anyway, nothing special really. So is the weapons mod compatible with Kryo's hull mod? I can't find out for myself atm because I just have the demo right now. I could certainly use the weapons mod along with the Kryo's mod.

I am going to lose the demo soon I'm getting it for my B-Day this friday or over the weekend

Sad news: according to Cari the metaverse cheat detection code has been revised, so the mod can no longer be used in metaverse games without getting a cheat flag.

DK could we not just add the mod into the mods folder, create the ships and then they 'should' be there for a MV game as it ignores the mods folder so no flag?

You probably didn't run the batch file that is included in the ZIP. Follow the readme's directions and all should be well.
